One of our most valuable resources that we sometimes take for granted is power. Barrie recently had a big ice storm that took everyone in town by surprise. This left thousands of families without power which is never a good thing.

Combat Power Outages with Small Generators

A small generator is one of many solutions to combat power outages in your home. Today homes can be equipped with a Generator Panel that is connected to the main electrical panel. The purpose of this is to be able to transfer some important circuits like the fridge, freezers and water pump without shorting the main power panel. The instillation is simple and usually takes about a day. The electrician will run a wire from this panel to the outside of the home where a small generator can be installed. As for the space needed for a small generator panel it needs to sit next to the existing main panel if there happens to be enough space.

Some homes will need a larger cut out for this type of installation and our team at Alair Homes will be happy to work with you. There are many other options out there when it comes to different generators but this solution is very reliable and built to last. Currently we have been refinishing the basement for a client allowing us to put in the proper generator systems so that when they experience another power outage they are not going to miss a beat.
